03/31/17 – Robert David English on repairing US-Russia relations by understanding US meddling in the 1990s – The Scott Horton Show

Robert David English, an Associate Professor of International Relations and Slavic Languages & Literature at the University of Southern California, is the author of the Foreign Affairs article “Russia, Trump, and a New Détente: Fixing U.S.-Russian Relations.” English discusses the Bill Clinton administration’s meddling in Russian elections in order to keep oligarch-friendly Boris Yeltsin in power, and why the foreign policy establishment has either forgotten the past, or steadfastly refuses to acknowledge it. Trump has at least paid lip service to improving relations and rolling back NATO, but has powerful forces allied against any attempt to take pressure off Russia.

03/29/17 – Ray McGovern on Russia hysteria, media madness, Trump hatred, and NSA spying – The Scott Horton Show

Ray McGovern, a CIA analyst for 27 years, discusses his article – co-written by NSA whistleblower Bill Binney – about President Trump’s legitimate concerns that senior US government officials (including himself) are being spied on by the NSA and the details leaked to his political and media opponents. McGovern laments that many formerly good journalists are so blinded by partisan hatred of all things Trump, that they don’t question the Russia-gate story or allow any dissenting opinions (like his) to be heard.

Jess Sundin, a founding member of the Twin Cities-based Anti-War Committee, discusses 69 year-old Palestinian activist Rasmea Odeh’s three year long legal battle with the US government, which charged her with immigration fraud for failing to disclose her conviction of terrorism in an Israeli military court in 1969. She had confessed after being tortured and raped in custody. Now she faces deportation after accepting a plea deal when prosecutors added new charges based on her involvement with a “terrorist organization,” the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

03/24/17 – Iona Craig on the truth about Trump’s ‘Highly Successful’ January SEAL raid in Yemen – The Scott Horton Show

Iona Craig, a British-Irish independent journalist, discusses the result of President Trump’s first authorized counterterrorism operation – a SEAL raid on the Yemeni village of al Ghayil that left many civilians dead, including 10 children under 13 years old. The Intercept’s on-the-ground reporting after the raid, combined with eyewitness testimony of surviving villagers, contradict the Trump administration’s claims about the nature and success of the operation.
